that no laws that are in contradiction to the tenets of Islam shall
be ratified in the country. This sets the fundamental principle
upon which the laws of the country rests. The reforms that have
taken place since the enactment of the very first Constitution of
the country in 1932 has in a large way being influenced by the
said principle. Taking a qualitative approach, this paper aims
to shed light on how Islam came to Maldives, the extent of its
influence on the legal system in the country, and the scope for
